Everything slowly dissolve into nothingness. Then we were all somehow at the H.Q .

“Uh what happened?” I asked.

“Is everyone okay?” Emmy asked in that innocent voice.

“Max what happened!” I say looking at him frantically.

“That creep was trying to take over my body again.” He says terror-stricken.

“Well well, look who came to join the party. It’s nice to meet you again, let’s just hope that this time you don’t try to kill me!!!”

“Umm...yeah about that.”

“Who are you?” I asked.

“Hunter meet Angel, Angel meet Hunter, red gem,white gem, white gem red gem.” Scarlet says in a dumbfounded tone.

“Tracey said she’d be a while and we should get to know eachother better.”

“So Maddison”, says Hunter,”Herd you created a piano out of nowhere?”

“Yup.” Says Maddie with a squill.

“I've read about it in books, the piano can bring people to tears of happiness or joy. It can even lead people to feeling anger. It depends on the tone or mood the it’s keepers in.” Says the demon.

Ugh the demon thinks its so smart!  

“AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING, YOU STOP CALLING ME DEMON!!!”

    Oops, I forgot she could hear my thoughts!

“Whatever” I say not caring.

“Okay guys we just need to calm down, and maybe then we could get something done.”  

“All right, the cat ones right.” After I say that she speedily put on her hat, as “Hi my name is Emmy, I look different then most people. People always used to make fun of me, well that was until Hunter showed up. My parents live far away but I stay here at H.Q. I’ve had these cat like features for as long as I can remember.”Her cheeks light up a bright red.

“Well I’m going outside, I’d be nice to get some fresh air when your not fighting someone.” Maidde says.

“I’ll bring the marshmallows and Hunter can bring the fire!” Says Emmy cheerfully.

        By this time all six of us were outside sitting in chairs roasting marshmallows. Well except for Max who was burning his.

“I don’t understand why this is so hard! Why can you guys do it?!” He says frustrated.

It took a lot of  convincing to get him to try this. Apparently this is his first time. “Max would you like me to make you one?” I offered generously.

“No way, you guys got me to try this so now I have to do it right!” He has confidence in his voice.

    “And now our next contestant Max! In this tuff competition you have to roast a marshmallow without it catching on fire! He goes to put his new mello on the stick but it falls to the floor. But wait, he picks it up! Is they're nothing that can stop him from winning this competition?! Now he slowly sticks it in the fire, will it burn? NO! He’s done it!! And the crowd goes WILD!!!!” We all cheered and clapped. Then burst out in laughter.

“You're too good Hunter.” Says Emmy, tears were practically coming out of her eyes.

“That's the hardest I’ve ever laughed, who knew Hunter was so good at impressions?!”

     “And now it’s story time, so tell us Maddison who are you?” Hunter says in another TV Game Show impression.

“Um..okay my name is Maddison and I live mainly by myself. Occasionally one of my parents friends will come check on me. My parents are always gone on on business trips. They call me about once a month. One day they told me I would start attending a new school, a private school. I hated it until I met all of you.” Maddie turned to face Emmy.

She looked at me.

“I honestly don’t know too much about myself, it’s almost as if something has been missing. I don’t remember anything from my childhood. But I do remember my mom told me that I was old enough to take care of myself, then she gave me the necklace and left.”

I looked to Scarlet.

“I’ve always hated this necklace! Because of it my best friend, my cousin…..she died and there's nothing I could do about it. My parents left me to live alone at the age of 9, to figure out these powers all by myself, these heartbreaking, mournful  powers of darkness. I just wish I could have done something,........Jenny sh-she didn’t deserve it…..”

Scarlet put her hood on and looked down. For once I could see the caring person in her.

Mabey she isn’t a Demon after all?
